I second Dan's nomination, and would like to add everyone who attended the (first annual?) Seattle Zine Unconference at Hugo House and the "Zine Librarian Zine 3" Zine Reading and Release Party at Cafe Allegro this weekend. It was truly inspirational to see how many creative and intelligent people care about providing better community access to zines. Bravo!<br />

Zine Scene heroes... Well, I´ve only been making zines for 5 years (&amp; independent publishing goes back, way back, to the 1850s) but I´m going to have to say that the first two names that come to my mind as being heroes of the current zine scene are:<br />
<br />
A) Jerianne: the main mover &amp; shaker behind "Zine World: A Reader´s Guide to the Underground Press" as well as a few side projects (like "Worry Stone" #1 which I just got my greedy little hands on) and...<br />

I myself just recently finished putting together my first contributor-driven zine project. It was hell. Getting people to follow deadlines &amp; send stuff on-topic... Good lord.

I'm going to nominate Lisa Mae Undead, Sage and Ciara for running successful, longstanding distros with consistently high standards. And Jerianne for maintaining an awesome zine resource, all of which contribute to a greater sense of community stability.
